This Order was founded at Mobile, Ala., in 1895, and, as 
far as I am aware, is the only one named for the illustrious 
general and statesman, George Washington. Our members 
having become separated, the Order remained in abeyance 
when an attempt was made by Mr. John Eyerman, of 
Easton, Pa., and myself, to revive the Order. The 
former having a die cast for the beautiful insignia now 
adopted by us, and also some handsome invitations issued, 
containing upon their face the necessary qualifications of 
admittance to the Order. X'othing further was done until 
I became permanently settled in this city, when I deter- 
mined to reorganize the Order, and with the assistance of 
certain gentlemen, we placed it upon a firm basis, and on 
May 13, 1908. formally institutecl the Order and received 
a Charter for the same on June 11, 1908, so that we have 
the satisfaction of knowing that The Order of Washington 
is now firmlv established, and as a qualification for member- 
ship requires that the ancestor must have arrived in America 
before 1750, have been a landowner or founder of a town, 
held some ofiicial. military or ministerial position in the 
Colonial serxice, and had a descendant who aided the Col- 
onies in attnining their indejjendence.
